The careful and Gispassionate study
of President Clevelaud's message. pub
lished IN fun in The INDEX to-day, will
convince any reasonable person that he
recommends action on tie most iDpor-
tant question OF the day. lie shows
that on july !, lSss, unless something
IS done, the surplus in the national
treasury will amount to nearly one hm-
dred and fifty millions Of dollars, and
no one will deny that such an amount
of money locked up will produce Gnan-
cial distress. II not panic.
The president is not as clear as to the
proper disposition of the surplus as he
might have been. but he is sensible in
counseiing against extravaganza.
lie wisely argues that taxes should
be reduced, that a surplus may not
again accumulate, aud his arguments
for a reduction OF the tariff Oh necessa.
ries viii find "a hearty response among
the laboriug men and agricuItaraiists
OF the west. These classics may not al
favor absolute free trade, but they are
daily learning HAT they are paying large
sums to the protected monopoiists of
the east without getting any benefit in
return.
The president favors the retention of
the internal revenue on tobacco and
whisky, these articles being Injuries,
and Ia this view lac will be upheld by
the masses.
No other subjects are discussed in the
message, and therefore il is not SO long
and tedious but that any one. with an
hours spare time should read il.
We commend il to every reader of the
INDEX rs "a model state document that
should be read and studied by every
man, woman and school boy in this
county.

The case of Charles Edward Lewis,
of London, England, VS.. the board of
county commissioners of Comanche
county came up i'm the United States
circuit court last week. at Topeka. This
case is of great interest. not only on
account of the large amount of money
involved, but also because 1T is the first
of a number of suits of like character
pending against many of the other
western Kansas counties. The facts
IN the case are briefly these: In Sep
TENDER, 1873, petition signed 10y the re-
quisite number Of citizens was present
ed to the governor, praying for "a census
for COmache county. y census taker
was appointed who reported TO the gov
ernOr that the county had GOO mhabi-
tants. The governor thereupon deClar-
ed the county organized. In March.
1874, the bonds in controversy were issu-
eel To the amount of So. 600, which were
purchased ina London by the plaintiff in
the suit. In the latter part of 1874
most of the county officials left the
county. The defendants allcge III their
petition that when it was organ
lied there was not solitary bona fide
resident in the entire county. and they
quote the opinion of theattoruey gener-
nj to substantiate it,. They further al
lege that the county was composed en-
tirely of public land, not an acre Of
which had been entered at the land
Office: and that there was not and had
not been a single dollars worth OF taxa
bile property in the county. The prin-
cipal and interest now amount to about
Sl7j.OOO. The said bonds were issued
for the purpose of erecting county bull
dings, building bridges and other inter
nal improvements.

name is Billy Whitly. The cores
pondent says of him: ,
@He remembers distinctly seeing the
soldiers coming home from the Reyo-
lutionary war. He married at %
wears and lived with his wife 70 years,
who died at the age of 10l In 1881. de
has in his possession gun used at
the fight at Yorktown by gentleman
who heard the conversation between
CORVALLIS and Washington at the sur
render. With this gun Uncle Billy has
killed moro deer than any other man
in North Carolina. He has also 0
nocketbook which belonged to his
father. and is possibly 1875 or loo years
old. He has his third set OF teeth
not from the dentist, but from God. Ht
cut his last set at the youthful age o.
100.
@To show the strength of his man
hood yet, it is enough to state that las
winter he cut wood, cut up and spli
into fine wood large dead tree, ant

the old school Baptist Church TO
more than sixty years. Never wa
